Anthony Fauci, CDC slam airlines’ plans for full flights amid COVID-19
NY Post ^ | July 1, 2020 | 12:15am | Vincent Barone

The nation’s top infectious disease experts on Tuesday slammed airlines planning full flights as the coronavirus continues to spread throughout the country.

Several US airlines have stated they’re limiting capacity on planes to between 60 and 67 percent.

But, United Airlines has not promised to leave seats empty, and American announced last week that it will drop such measures and begin filling its flights to the brim beginning Wednesday as companies try to increase revenue.

“Obviously that is something that is of concern. I’m not sure what went into that decision making,” Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, told a Senate panel.

“I think in the confines of an airplane that becomes even more problematic,” he added.

Dr. Robert Redfield, director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, joined Fauci in expressing “substantial disappointment” in the company’s decision.

“I can say this is under critical review by us at CDC. We don’t think it’s the right message,” Redfield added.

How ‘bout we let the marketplace decide, Fauci? If UAL wants to run full planes while their competitors offer 1/2 or 2/3-full planes, let the customer decide which he prefers. Free market economics... a beautiful thing.

I am not a Fauci fan but since before the pandemic airlines have been increasing flight capacity to sardine can levels while decreasing basic customer comfort and service quality. And Boeing’s current management is a criminal level disaster of murderous proportions. All these companies had it coming as far as I’m concerned. Oh and the 737 Max is set to make it’s re-debut. 🙄

Fauci is “not sure what went into that decision-making.”

Here’s a reason: “The airlines cannot stay in business unless they can make a profit.”

An airline cannot be a personal jet fleet for a handful of passengers.

These jet airliners cost hundreds of millions of dollars to buy and a fortune to service and staff an experienced crew. Fuel costs on each flight are enormous. Airlines pay big money for landing rights and terminal gate access.

No airline profits equal no worldwide airline travel.

What's the problem? Can't everyone just wear a mask?

(Too) many people here seem to think simply wearing any kind of cloth over your face is the answer to the pandemic.

30 Jun: Infowars: Breaking: States Ordered To Fraudulently Inflate COVID-19 Cases 16 Times Actual Rate
Federal order coincides with massive spike in new cases, triggering national panic
Every time someone is tested positive for Covid-19, officials are claiming that 15 people the individual may have come into contact with are also “confirmed cases,” thus fraudulently inflating the actual number of infections.
This is why weak Republicans like Gov. Greg Abbott need to wake up and realize that officials are inflating the numbers to help Democrats in the 2020 election...:

30 Jun: Infowars: Huge COVID Case-counting Deception at the CDC
Agency mixes flu and other disease diagnoses into coronavirus category
by Jon Rappoport
The Atlantic, May 21, has the story, headlined, “How could the CDC make that mistake?”
I’ll give you the key quotes, and then comment on the stark inference The Atlantic somehow failed to grasp:

“We’ve learned that the CDC is making, at best, a debilitating mistake: combining test results that diagnose current coronavirus infections with test results that measure whether someone has ever had the virus…The agency confirmed to The Atlantic on Wednesday that it is mixing the results of viral [PCR] and antibody tests, even though the two tests reveal different information and are used for different reasons.”

“Several states—including Pennsylvania, the site of one of the country’s largest outbreaks,
well as Texas, Georgia, and Vermont—are blending the data in the same way. Virginia likewise mixed viral and antibody test results until last week, but it reversed course and the governor apologized for the practice after it was covered by the Richmond Times-Dispatch and The Atlantic. Maine similarly separated its data on Wednesday; Vermont authorities claimed they didn’t even know they were doing this.”

“’You’ve got to be kidding me,’ Ashish Jha, the K. T. Li Professor of Global Health at Harvard and the director of the Harvard Global Health Institute, told us when we described what the CDC was doing. ‘How could the CDC make that mistake? This is a mess’.”...

"We don’t think it’s the right message"

What an oddly not connected thing to say. It's either dangerous or not. it has nothing to do with 'a message'.

But this entire apocalypse film has been only based on a true story, and when it's only a story - a harrowing narrative, then it's not about whether people on the plane will spread or not spread the cold I mean covid, it's about 'message'.

In addition to whatever other agenda, politics and cash this guy is interested in, I'm not going to say he's diagnosable, but he's a walking personality disorder.

Crazy! Isn’t there a perverse incentive to miscount? 36K Federal money per positive case? Even so, are Hospitals in the spiked states overflowing with dead and dying patients? I think not! Unless you count The Covid released criminal Crime surge

Question: Has anyone heard of any WuFlu cases that were acquired while on an airplane?

Airliners have HEPA filtration.

If HEPA filtration doesn’t work, why has NYS gov Cuomo ordered all shopping malls to install expensive HEPA filtration systems before reopening (if they reopen)...

But, but Dr. Debra Birx said Sunday:

“We NOW have NEW SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE... that masks MAY ALSO PARTIALLY keep you from getting infected”

“May also partially” is the new bar for scientific proof.

The whole "social distancing" thing on airliners lasted about two weeks. As soon as the passenger levels started coming back the airlines started packing them in again, they're not going to leave any empty seats as long as they can make some money.

Every flight I've been on in the last month has been packed to the gills.

I have a flight to Las Vegas booked for next week. One of the smaller commuter planes. I’m sure it will be sold out....and I will have to wear a mask.
